How Long After a Hysterectomy is It Safe to Get a Mommy Makeover?

That would depend on what your definition of mommy makeover is and what type of hysterectomy you have. I think most plastic surgeons would be willing to do a tummy tuck at the same operation as a hysterectomy. I don't think most plastic surgeons would be willing to place breast implants at the same time as a hysterectomy. I for one would be worried about infecting the implant.

My response to your question/post does not represent formal medical advice or constitute a doctor patient relationship. You need to consult with i.e. personally see a board certified plastic surgeon in order to receive a formal evaluation and develop a doctor patient relationship.

The time between having electoral #cosmetic surgery after a major surgery depends on the surgery. Its best to consult with the surgeon or specialist you recently had the major surgery with to gain perspective as to when cosmetic surgery can be scheduled. 

The Mommy Makeover is a combination of procedures to bring a woman’s body back to the way she looked prior to pregnancy. Most commonly some variation of a #TummyTuck and #BreastSurgery are performed. Additional procedures can include liposuction, umbilical hernia repair.  The most common #breastprocedures include #mastopexy or #breastlift, #breastaugmentation, or #breastreduction.    All surgical procedures carry some degree of #risk. Always discuss your issues and concerns with the Plastic Surgeon during and following your consultation. Information that you read online may not apply to your personal situation. The suitability of your procedures and any specific risks may be determined during you #consultation.

It’s not unusual for patients to undergo abdominoplasty and
hysterectomy in combination.This
procedure can be performed safely and yields excellent results.The combination of hysterectomy and Mommy
Makeover is a much larger procedure.Unfortunately, this procedure will require more time in the operating
room and raises concern about safety.For this reason, these procedures should probably be staged to minimize
the potential for complications. A
period of six to eight weeks between procedures would be appropriate providing
the first procedure was uncomplicated.It’s also important to note that delaying the Mommy Makeover might have
other advantages.Under these circumstances,
this cosmetic procedure could be performed in an outpatient surgery center.This might translate into significant
financial savings.

I would not recommend performing a breast procedure especially one with an implant at the same time as a hysterectomy. The chance for infection is increased and not worth the risk.If you had a vaginal hysterectomy with an uncomplicated recovery it would be reasonable to proceed with a Mommy Make Over 6-8 weeks later.If however you underwent an abdominal hysterectomy I would recommend waiting 8-12 months to allow for complete healing of the abdominal wall. Good luck

It is more and more common to get a tummy tuck at the same time as a hysterectomy.  Although it seems there is a slight increased risk of infection, it is not so high that I discourage the combination.  It is just a matter of being well informed.  I would generally not recommend also adding a breast procedure at the same time.For more information, please go to my website at:WirthPlasticSurgery.com
